Definitely not

 I've just read Sooze's post about Betty sleeping on her bed.  When we first agreed to look after Zippy we were adamant that she wouldn't be allowed on the furniture. Within ten minutes she was curled up between us on the sofa... No worries, she isn't going upstairs.  Hah!!!   It was the middle of the heatwave so on her second night with us we allowed her upstairs where the fan was cooling the room.. In the middle of the night we felt a small body sneak onto the bed and curl up between us.,, So much for 'definitely not'. Now she asks to go to bed just after ten and heads straight for my bed where she curls into a tiny little ball and falls asleep straight away.  She is absolutely the most adorable little dog and we are completely smitten by her.   Just a pair of softies aren't we  :-) Thankfully she isn't a 'smelly' dog or we would have felt completely different about upholding the rules. She's going home on Wednesday and we are going to miss her terribly.  I only wish I hadn't felt so poorly this past week as I've had  to drag myself over the field to give her a walk three times a day. I usually really enjoy getting out for a walk but could cheerfully have given it a miss most of the time this past week.
